System Logging
Function
The system can automatically log related information in case of the following
events:
■ When a user logs in successfully, the system will log the user name, IP address,
and VTY number
■ When a user is prohibited by the ACL rule, the system will log the user’s IP
address
■ When a user fails in authentication, the system will log the user name, IP
address, VTY number, and failure cause
■ When a user changes his or her password that has expired, the system will log
the password change event
The administrator can query the login information of users based on these log
records.
